JamieCooper91 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Hey guys, I've been looking at overdrive and distortion pedals to add to my live pedal setup for my P bass. I've listened to some demo's on youtube and I think it'll sound ace with my American Telecaster but I've not been able to find any reviews with people using it with their bass. I love the idea of two separate foot switches so I could have my clean tone, a little gritty sound with the overdrive channel then a heavier distortion or blended when I need it. I think Merchant City Music in Glasgow stock them so I'll hopefully try one out next week but I was wondering if anyone here owns one and could help me out here. Seems a bargain for the price even if I just used it for the tele and recording in the band but I'd love to use it live. Still open to suggestions for other overdrive/distortion pedals for bass though, mostly I just need it for a little extra grit but I'd like to be able to push it as far as some of the tracks on Daisy Noro - Brand New [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JEdoJr5h5A"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JEdoJr5h5A[/url] Cheers!

willyf87 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I currently use the blogger for a little grit and the graphic fuzz for full on overdrive, have you done a google search someone on talk bass might have tried the germanium.

Ghost_Bass Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) I use the Fulltone Bass Drive Mosfet for that same result. It will definitely be a more bass-friendly pedal... Edited February 2, 2011 by Ghost_Bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieCooper91 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Cheers for the heads up on Talkbass, did manage to find a few soundclips and reviews on there. It's not really what I was hoping for, if I do buy it for guitar I can see some use for the bass but doubt it live. Still I'll try and get to MCM so I can try it out properly. Took away too much bass and wasn't really the tone I was hoping for in the soundclips on Talkbass.

manwithaxe Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I use a homebrew hematoma. Has a lovely distortion (that you can blend and EQ) and the added bonus of a boost as well. The boost can be on your clean signal of the distortion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
